A Polish Riot.

DENVER, April IA bloody riot oc
Cured late last night between the rival
Swede, Pole and Hungarian colonies, at
Thirty fourth and Blake streets, which
resulted in fatally shooting one man, seri-
ously wounding several Others, and it was
with the combined efforts of the police
force prevented from resulting in a whole
sale massacre. The settlement where the
riot occurred comprised twenty-five or
thirty families, who live in small one story
tenement houses not more than ten by
twenty feet square, the men mostly being
employed in smelters and foundries in the
neighborhood. The melee grew out of
a long standing jealousy over II young
Polish woman, Alice Falka. who yesterday
morning left the settlement on the south
side OF the street and was spending the
day with a rival colony on the north side.

The Chicago Carpenters Strike.

CHICAGO, April ll.-At a meeting of
striking carpenters to-day an organization
was formed to be known as the Independ-
ent Master Carpenters Association. The
terms of the strikers were at once acceded
to on condition that the strike be declared
off as far as members of the new %associa-
ton of employers ale concerned. This
was agreed to by the strikers and it is ex-
pected hat about o~ne-eighth of the men
will thus resume work Immediately on the
eight hour plan at thirty-fve cents an
hour. Disputes are to be settled, not be-
tween employer and employe, but by arbi-
tration between the Carpenters Union and
Masters Association.

A Shocking Accident.

P%oTTsvILLE, Pa, April IA shock
ing accident occurred at a mine of the
Chamberlain c%olliery, St. Clair, this after
noon. Miss Berlista Shaul. of Sharon
Springs, n. y, a student of Vassar col
iege, was visiting Miss Minnie Keiter, of
St. Clair, a fellow student, and the two
young ladies, in company with a young
man named Harry Short and Edwin
Thomson, one of the operators OF the
%colliery, entered the mine for the purpose
Of giving Miss Shaul an opportunity to
inspect the operation of mining coal. The
mine had not been working for a week,
and none but the explorers were inside at
the time. In an adjacent working, how
ever, were Albert Thomson, another of
the firm, and several others, who were
making examinations of the works.
They were startled by a heavy explosion,
and knowing that the party had entered
the other slope they fastened there to in
vestigate.
About $50 yards from the foot of the
slope they came upon Messrs, Short and
Thomson and two ladies lying upon the
ground, some of them unconscious and all
frightiully burned and mangled. They
They were taken out as speedily as'possi-
Bile and medical attendance obtained.
Miss Keiter's face was burned beyond
recognition, her skull and thigh fractured
and her ankle crushed. She died this
evening. Miss Shaul had a leg badly
fractured and was terribly bruised and
burned, but may survive. Shorts head
is a mass of cuts and he is badly burned.
He remained unconscious and his recov-
cry is doubtful. Thomson il painfully
but-not fatally bruised.
The precise cause Of the explosion is
unknown, but the supposition is that the
party carried a naked lamp and encount-
cred a body Of fire damp, which igniting
from the lamp exploded with tremendous
fierce.

Wholesale ROBBERY
By Employees of the Panhandle
Railroad.
Over Two Hundred Persons
Implicated.
Shocking Accident to Mine
Visitors.
hobbing q Railroad.

PuTsBURG, April ia gigantic con-
spiracy among the employees of the Pan
handle road to rob the railroad by en-
bezzling freight has been discovered here,
and a large number of arrests made. All
kinds Of goods we're stolen. including sew
ing machines, guns, revolvers, cutlery,
silverware, cigars, clothing, liquors, gro
ceries, furniture, and in fact every mag
Unable article that can be carried on cars,
were quietly removed. Depredations
were committed all along the road, and
the losers reside at points as far west as
Denver. Fences were established in this
city where the stolen property was taken
and then sold, the money being evenly
divided among the crews. 1t is impossi-
BILE to give what aggregate of property
has been stolen, but it is claimed now
that it will nearly reach $500, 900.
The arrests created the greatest excite
ment among railroad employees of this city.
The scenes about the Jail doors this morn
ing where the relatives of the prisoners
had gathered to learn the cause of the ar
rests were of the saddest description. At
| O'Clock ten more arrests were reported.
They we're captured at the pay car as they
were receiving their wages. This makes
a total of fifty-six now in Jail here and it
is supposed that as many more have
been apprehended at other points along
the line. CONSERVATION prevails amaog
the proprietors of the fences" and dcns
where the goods were secreted and sold.
The arrests include twelve conductors
and thirty-seven brakemen. Seven more
arrests have been made but the namee are
not recorded. Nearly 200 warrants are
still out. A number of houses in various
parts of the city were raided to-day and a
large quantity of goods recovered.
Every man arrested had stolen goods
somewhere. Among the prisoners are
several desperate characters, who are
wanted by the police for other offenses.
They were all armed, and when not taken
by surprise resisted arrest. Numbers
overpowered them, however, and all were
safely lodged in Jail.
A special dispatch from Dennison says
officers have arrested James and w. Coils
with several thousand dollars worth of
~velvcts and high priced dry goods in their
possession-articles taken from United
States bonded cars en- route to points

The HYDE Park Meeting.

LONDON, April 1.-THE day appointed
for the great demonstration in London
against the Irish coercion bill, now before
the house of commons, opened brilliantly,
the weather being balny and the sun
shining brightly. Vast crowds Of people
are marching towards Hyde park, where
the meetings are to he held, from the rural
districts of London with bands and ban
ners, and carriages filled with the leaders
in the days exercises. The utmost en-
thuslasm prevails in the great throngs.
Estimates Of the attendance at the meet
ing vary, but it is certain that 5 1000 per-
sons, including onlookers were present.
The procession took an hour and a halt to
file into the park.
The first contingent was composed OF
members of the Robert Emmett lodge;
then followed a large number Of the Irish
Temperance Lodges, Radical workmen's
clubs and Social Democratic societies.
Numerous bands Of music were in the
line. lille passing the Carlton and
other Conservative clubs the bands playe
the dead march in Saul and the Marseil-
laise. Green banners and Irish national
emblcms were conspicuous in the ranks of
the paradcrs. Among the notices dis
played on the banners weres those of
Justice to Ireland, Friendship, Not
Bayonets, - mo Coercion.
The effect Of the arrangements that had
been made to avoid confusion at the park
was seen in the admirable order in which
the paraders grouped themselves around
fourteen platforms. The greatest throng
gathered at the platform in front Of which
Lord Mayor Sullivan, OF Dublin, and
Messrs. Conybear and William Redmond,
mepbers Of parliament, spoke.
At 1880 o'clock a bugle sounded and at
this prearranged signal a resolution con-
demning the crimes act was put stimuli
taneously at all of the platforms. The
resolution was carried amid prolonged
cheers.

Washington Notes.

WASHINGTON. April ia delegation
of lrish-Americans called at the white
house to-day to invite the president to
attend a meeting to be held in this city
tonight to protest against the coercion
policy in Ireland. They saw Col. Lamont
and were informed that whatever the
presidents views on the subject might be
it would be manifcstly improper for him
to attend such a meeting in his official
capacity. The committee withdrew with
out further effort to see the president.
The grounds Immediately south of the
presidents house presented a pretty pic
turc to day. Thousands of children were
gathered there engaged in the pleasures
of Faster egg rolling, a custom which has
prevailed in this city many years. The
participants were of all ages, sizes and
conditions of life. The president enjoyed
the spectacle very much. Mrs. Cleveland
spent the morning at her country home,
and so failed to see tn, children at play.
The president to-day commissioned c..
X. Barratt as postmaster at Salt Lake
City, and appointed f. j. Furlow post
master at Ashland, Oregon.
Second Assistant Postmaster Knott to-
day began the award of contracts for
carrying the mails on $40 miscellaneous
star and steamboat routes for periods
ranging from one TO four years. All Of
the states except Delaware and all of the
territories except Alaska and Arizona are
represented in the list.
